Would anything rile @realDonaldTrump more than to see #homegrowndemagogue trending? (Assuming he knew what it meant.)

Obama just pulled a page out of Trump's book & gave him a nickname. Only problem is it features two vocabulary words #homegrowndemagogue

(7,004 posts)I watched Obama's speech on NBC. At the wrap up Chuck Todd said Obama framed Trump as an existential threat to democracy.

(51,129 posts)Twelve years ago tonight, I addressed this convention for the very first time.
You met my two little girls, Malia and Sasha now two amazing young women who just fill me with pride. You fell for my brilliant wife and partner Michelle, whos made me a better father and a better man; whos gone on to inspire our nation as First Lady; and who somehow hasnt aged a day.
I know the same cant be said for me. My girls remind me all the time. Wow, youve changed so much, daddy.
And its true I was so young that first time in Boston. Maybe a little nervous addressing such a big crowd. But I was filled with faith; faith in America the generous, bighearted, hopeful country that made my story indeed, all of our stories possible.

Obama puts @realDonaldTrump - the #HomegrownDemagogue - in his rightful place in history: among fascists & jihadists

@realDonaldTrump you totally sold out to Putin and the KKK. #NoClue #HomegrownDemagogue
His call on a foreign government to hack Hillary Clintons email account is a complete subversion of GOP ideals.
"... a candidate for United States president openly invited foreign espionage against his political opponent. ...."

If only the GOP were as good as recognizing a #HomegrownDemagogue as they were at meticulously counting flags.
Clinton Is Sane And Competent, Unlike Trump

(6,436 posts)It said my tweet was posted but I can't find it. how do I know it really posted and can people see it - esp since I can't?
auntpurl
(4,311 posts)But you can include one in your tweet. And then when other people click on that hashtag, they will see your tweet.
To see your own tweets, if you're on a computer, you have to go to your own profile and click "Tweets and Replies" at the top to see all of them. If you're on a phone, just go to your profile and all your tweets and replies will be listed.
Hope that helps!
Bill USA
(6,436 posts)but I didn't see it on the hashtag #HomeGrownDemagogue. but it does show as sent on my own page at as you under "tweets".
Can't understand why I can't see it when I go to #HomeGrownDemagogue and see other tweets.
BTW, anybody who CAN do this I invite to send the url for the petition to deny Trump a security briefing: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//petition/deny-donald-trump-national-security-briefings
auntpurl
(4,311 posts)Twitter has tweets sorted at the top of the page into "Top Tweets" for popular tweets and "Live" for the live feed of ALL tweets under that hashtag. The default is "Top Tweets", so you have to click on "Live" to see them all. If there's a lot, you'll have to scroll and scroll until the time when you posted yours.
Does that help?
Bill USA
(6,436 posts)I clicked on "Live", didn't see it. I guess I'll leave this to younger people.
Anyone who knows how to do this, it would be great if yousent the url to the petition : https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//petition/deny-donald-trump-national-security-briefings
thanks for your help.
auntpurl
(4,311 posts)I've posted the url to Twitter under several hashtags and @ a lot of people with a lot of followers a couple of dozen times.

(51,129 posts)To tweet to an account, to make sure they or anyone following the account sees it, the protocol is @thataccount. So, @realDonaldTrump places your tweet where Donald and every follower of Don sees it, and anyone doing a search. If you call him a #HomeGrownDemagogue, you'll get lots of blocks from his followers or muted.

On edit: See up thread for the username of HomegrownDemagogue
auntpurl
(4,311 posts)because he/she only has like 15 followers. If you really want to get the word out, go through the hashtag, hover over people's names, and send anyone with more than 1000 followers a polite tweet with the url and ask them to RT. That's what I did with #TrumpTreason and #ComradeTrump, and I got some good RTs, including someone with 33k followers.

(6,436 posts)it shows up on my own site under tweets and replies but I don't see it on @homegrowndemag..??
